What is the intervertebral hernia: symptoms, causes, types ^

The intervertebral hernia is a displacement of the nucleus of the disc, characterized by rupture of the fibrous ring. As a result, part of the ruptured disc protrudes and, by affecting the nerve, causes very severe pain.

• Herniated and lumbosacral hernia. Hernia of the cervical region. Hernia hernia.

The main reasons for the development of degenerative changes in the intervertebral discs are:

• Age changes. With age, the blood flow in the tissues worsens, and little useful substances enter the vertebral discs. Because of this, the tissues lose their strength and elasticity, and the pulpous core penetrates through the fibers of the fibrous ring.
• Genetic predisposition. As you know, the genes are responsible for the synthesis of connective tissue. If one of the parents had a hernia, it is possible that the child will also suffer from this ailment.
• Problems with synthesis of connective tissues, metabolic disorders.
• Hypodinamy, wearing uncomfortable shoes or flat feet. If a person has a sedentary job, but at the same time he ignores sports, he is at risk, because most of the load during sitting falls on the intervertebral discs.
• Excessive physical activity. Strong pressure on the discs helps to delaminate the fibrous ring.
• Getting injured.
• Infectious diseases.
• Incorrect posture.
• Overweight, unbalanced diet, insufficient fluid intake.
• Smoking. This harmful habit contributes to a disruption in the nutrition of the fibrous rings.
